I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at IQPC (Tampa, FL) in Apr 2018
Interview
This company reached out to me via LinkedIn to come in for an interview for a different position than the conference producer. After scheduling and completing the interview, with people who seemed to lack any personality, i did their mock project which took ages and I didn't hear from the company for over two weeks. Then I got a call out of the blue saying they went with other candidates for the position but they wanted me to come back in for a second interview for the conference producer role. Again, same lack of personality and was again given a mock task that took a good several hours to complete and again, silence for about a month until I finally got an email stating they chose someone else for the position. Absolute waste of time and energy, TWICE. I first interviewed with them in the beginning of April, it's now July and I JUST heard back. Would not recommend interviewing with this employer if you want your time to be valued.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IQPC (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was a fun interview process. They’re very true to what they’re looking for and tell you as it is. They really want to make sure you can handle the pressure.
Easy, quick, complex. Applied as a starting job and they were impressed. Had to answer generally about the industry given I hadn’t had a conference production job before. 3 stages I think. I stopped before second stage.

Interview
I applied on LinkedIn through a recruiter agency. I had my screening with a recruiter who clearly didn't want to be on that interview. They asked me very minimum questions and told to go an search the company and come back to them. I did and they never responded back.
I am very sorry to hear of this negative experience. We operate a PSL of recruiters who we work with. Please can you contact me direct so that I can establish the recruitment agency and ensure this type of experience does not happen again.
